Advantages: Utter heaven.So may different sides to each island

Disadvantages: Travel time from Uk is 22 hours

I went to Hawaii and stayed in Waikiki which is the tourist area of the main island.Its about a 20 minutes transfer from Honolulu airport to Waikiki and cost about USD25 for a private transfer in a towncar(A posh taxi).Travel is easy around the island by bus.All journeys cost 1 dollar.Make sure you have a 1 dollar note as they dont give change.Bus guides can be bought in the Seven to eleven corner shops for 5 dollars.The number 13 (CHECK BEFORE HAND) is a useful bus running from Waikiki to Pearl Harbour , you have to visit the HSS MISSOURI where so many brave men lost there lives.Admission is free (make sure you pick up a ticket on entry and dont loose it!!)but donations are gratefully accepted.Go early as only about 45 people (We Qed for 2 hours, but lots to see while your waiting)per boat allowed across to the site.First you get a cinema show for about 20 minutes, then the boat ride 5 minutes each way and about 15 minutes above the site where the ship lays. Right next to this is an World War 2 submarine The Bowfin (I think).Entry price depends on what you do, we payed 15 USD per person for a guide about the sub(very interesting and crampt) and a look round the museum.This is one of he top tourist attractions in Hawaii for the memorial to Pearl Harbour.

If you want to know any advice, email me at bhiggott@currantbun.com I will try to help if I can.I stayed at the Radisson Waikiki (4 Star)about 2 minutes from the beach.Im going to write a seperate review for the hotel.But I do recommend it about usd150 per room per night.
